We are very pleased and excited to offer the latest Co-op branded product, the Co-op Growler for bulk. Now you can store your bulk liquids, grains, seeds, granolas, etc. in this dark amber growler sized bottle. Our talented in house designer, Habiba, created the design with a place to write in your bulk item’s name and bin number. There is also a spot to write down the tare weight of the bottle. The Co-op has markers for writing on glass that can be easily wiped off when you need to use the growler for another bulk purchase. These bottles were made and screened for us in Seattle. At $8.95, they are a great option for bulk and a great way to show your Co-op love. Grab one for yourself, give one as a gift. They’re the perfect blend of beauty and utility. Find them in the Bulk departments of both store locations.

We are very excited to be bringing in a new sock line, Sweet Marcel. These socks are all made from hand drawn designs, so each style is truly one of a kind. They are a cotton blend and the knee high socks are all made in the USA. Other styles are made in a family owned, ethically certified mill in Central Turkey. You can see the hand steaming technique in the photo below. Sweet Marcel even carries knee highs for children and each pair comes on a tiny vintage hanger. It was hard to narrow down the choices because each sock is so beautiful! Make sure to check them out, they should arrive by May 15th. at the Cordata store.
